@FOUND SOUL,
[The] Kite Runner
FS:
Man trying to fly a kite in his back-yard couldn't seem to keep it aloft. His wife had been watching him at the kitchen window. Finally, she yelled out, "You need more tail!" The man dropped the kite, put his hands on his hips and said: "Make up your mind. Last night you told me to go fly a kite."
Yes, I remember the expression.
